The brief stays in the channel.
Open a channel for each job and drop the file in. If a topic runs long, open a thread: the channel stays clean and replies don't get lost.
There are scheduled messages, pinning and saving too.

Short deadline, small team, one board.
Ads and music videos mean short deadlines and many revisions. The brief stays in the channel, the file stays in its version, and anyone can find the decision without asking.
Small team, short deadline: everyone on one board.
Everyone in one room.
The Studio window, piece by piece. Scroll and it falls into place.
Studio: the team's pulse without a meeting.

Write the revision on the picture.
No need to take a screenshot and draw arrows to say "leave this corner empty". The mark sits on the picture, the note beside it.

What's finishing this week?
Pick the stages and set a target date. Cards show the person, date and file, and late work makes itself known.

You choose where the files live.
The Devchaos server, or a computer at the office. Big files stay where you want them, and the team reaches them from anywhere.

Your programs stay the same.
Devchaos doesn't replace your program, it stands beside it. Whichever one is open shows on your Studio card; there are 50 programs on the list, and you can add yours if it's missing.

Where do our files live?
You choose between two places: the Devchaos server (2 GB per project), or a computer left on at the office.
Is there voice chat?
Not yet, it's coming soon. Voice rooms and camera are on the way. For now you use the room's text chat during a screen share.
Can we set our own pipeline stages?
Yes. You pick ready-made stage names such as Idea, Pre-production, Development, Polish and Handoff, put them in order, and give each an icon and a date. You can save the set as a template and use it in another project.
How much does it cost?
Completely free for a short while. We're in the test version: every window is open and nothing is charged.
